A Brief History of Inglis

The company has undergone many rebranding exercises and some were imperative for changes in ownership or the manner in which the business was operated. From having multiple owners to John Inglis moving it to Toronto, the company did not start producing home appliances till after the Second World War. By 1950, the company had manufactured fully automatic washers and later it expanded its lineup of products to include gas and electric dryers. In the sixties, Inglis was the largest manufacturer of laundry machines in Canada. In 1987, Whirlpool Corporation acquired a majority stake in Inglis. It continued to use the brand name in Canada until 2001 when the company was rechristened as Whirlpool Canada.

The door is supposed to stay locked until the water is drained. It is possible you would see no water inside but the door may still remain automatically locked.
